What I worry about the most is the competition for young eyeballs. We have so many other competing forms of media. I don't take any audience members for granted.

We can't worry about competition. Besides, you aren't competing with anyone but yourself. They have nothing to do with whether you make a good movie or not.

I go back to family: 'Ice Age' was about disparate characters rejected by their own kind. They come together to save the child. 'Despicable Me' is about redefining what a family could be. It has a visual distinction and an experimental quality.

Antitrust law isn't about protecting competing businesses from each other, it's about protecting competition itself on behalf of the public.

Communication is something we all take for granted.
